    During fractional distillation, the crude petroleum is heated to

    A)  \[{{600}^{\text{o}}}C\].                               

    B)                         \[400-{{500}^{\text{o}}}C\].

    C)                         \[{{200}^{\text{o}}}C\].                               

    D)                         \[{{100}^{\text{o}}}C\].

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    During fractional distillation, crude petroleum that is obtained from the earth's crust is heated to a temperature of about \[400-{{500}^{\text{o}}}C\]. The different constituents present start separating out at different heights of the fractionating column depending upon their boiling points.
